What is Domestic Violence?

Domestic violence is a pattern of violent and coercive
behaviors, including physical, sexual and psychological attacks, as well
as economic coercion, that adults or adolescents use against their
intimate partners.

Victims of domestic violence often struggle with feelings of
helplessness, shame and fear. Many are unaware that there is help
available. The victim may have limited financial resources, may not be a
legal citizen, or may have other reasons they continue to stay with the
abuser. DVSAVA does not make judgments or tell you what you have to do.
The choice is yours.

Many times a victim is forced or coerced into losing touch with family or friends. If someone you know is being abused let them know you care. Let them know there is hope and help available.
